Apparently it is "a waste of time, spending an hour outside just getting cold in winter and sun stroke in summer". Well maybe if you got off your a$*e and actually interacted with the children, taking your hands out of your pockets in the process and utilised the training that I sent you on about facilitating children's learning through play instead of sitting / standing about doing sweet all you might not realise you've even been out there for an hour and realise that it is an enjoyable and extremely worthwhile aspect of your job! Rant over!!! Thanks for listening!

Hi all, While I'm all for supporting children's rights (obviously! - in my line of work!), it does puzzle me a little bit.... My 10 year old needs to have a mole removed (it's 'probably' OK but irritates and is best removed) anyway he had a bit of a wobble when the anaethestic was going to be admininistered and so Dr would do it, especially without son's consent Now I know I can't pin him down and insist that he has this down but I wasn't given the chance to try an persuade him.
